Distortion on active basses

[simonbrown92]

I’ve always struggled with a decent distorted tone when using my active basses, I’ve got a Spector rebop 5 string and an Ibanez SR2600, and they both sound like they’re being water boarded when I step on my boss ODB-3. My Ibanez can switch between passive and active and sounds great in passive. I’ve read threads on hear about impedance issues and radial dragsters being the fix, problem is they seem to be discontinued so my question is does anyone have an alternative solution? Do I need to change pedals? Is there an alternative to the dragster? Does anyone have one to sell?
